Then again, "Wildrose" just conjures up images of unscrupulous right-wing politics, so that may not be such a good thing after all.

I don't think it's as simple as changing a party's name. It probably has more to do with the old "If it ain't broke,..." attitude and the fact that it will take many years before a significant number of voting Albertans consider even seriously listening to a left-leaning party's platform.
Personally, even though I usually don't give a damn about most things conservative, I don't mind the PC Party in Alberta so much. Well, except the fact that farmer Ed became premier thanks to the support from Ted the "right-wing American".
And congratulations to Ms. Greyedanus on the job well done at CP. 16% of the board vote is actually more than I expected and I am sure that at least some of it is due to your participation here.
